Book #16 - The Beasts of Tarzan
Finally caught up on my reading. This is the third in the Tarzan series, and took me forever to read, though I think it's shorter than the first two. Pretty much the only time I read it was at work while documents were scanning. So, like, one or two minutes at a time. So perhaps it didn't really drag as much as it seemed to, because of all the interruptions. _But_, if it were really grabbing, I would have found more and longer periods of time to sit down and blast through it. So. Jury's still out there.
Tarzan and Jane are married, and have a son named Jack who is abducted by the villainous Rokoff we met in the last book. Tarzan, of course, goes haring off after him, and Jane goes haring off after Tarzan. The book switches back and forth between Tarzan and Jane's points of view, which probably contributed to the slow feel of the book, since the narrative kept interrupting itself. The eponymous beasts are a tribe of apes and a panther he meets after being marooned on Jungle Island by Rokoff. Tarzan of course befriends them and they travel with him to find Rokoff and save his son.
